The client is more expressive and more comfortable to play when his at home. At school, the client is quite isolated to his classmates. He usually stays at his chair, sitting or playing alone. The client may play with his classmates but not all the time. The client's relationship to his peers or playmates is quite bad. Because he is preferred more in playing alone than with them.The client also says that he is more comfortable when he is talking to adults, it is because he feels that adults understand him than his playmates. Another reason is, he is the only child at home that's why he got used to talk to adults.

Whatever the teacher will say, the client will follow it. The client is not easily destructed in doing the activities. After the class, the client will wait for his grandmother inside the classroom to fetch him up.
SECTION E. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The maladaptive behavior that is being diagnose to the client is the isolation of his self to other children. This problem can be discuss in the " Attachment Theory " by John Bowlby. According to this theory,John Bowlby used the term "attachment" to describe the affective bond that develops between an infant and a primary caregiver. He believed that the "attachment behavioral system" was one of four behavioral systems that are innate and evolutionarily function to assure survival of the species. The quality of attachment evolves over time as the infant interacts with his/her caregivers. The type of attachment, or attachment status of the infant toward the caregiver is partly determined by the interaction between the two and partly by the state-of-mind of attachment (vis a vis their own attachment figures) of the caregiver. Because the client is the only child at home and he is usually attach to his grandmother, that provokes him to become fond of socializing to adults than his age mates.
Another factor of the arising the maladaptive behavior of the client is the BULLYING. It provokes the client to isolate his self to his playmates and preferred to play alone. Bullying is a real life thing. Everyone is prone to it, but there were some who are not used to it and lead to an emotional and behavioral problem of an individual. There were several kinds of bullying but all of them will have an effect to the bully.
SECTION F. PROGNOSIS
As the observation process is on, the observant found some behavior to the client that is not usually seen to other children, though it may not called as real problem but just an unfamiliar behavior that occurs to the client, most of the time in playing. The client preferred more to be alone in doing different activities. This behavior is not alarming and can be easily change to more socialite one. There were also good attitudes that the observant see in the personality of the client base on how and what the child tells to the observant. The observer can say that the client is not annoying even he is talkative, according also to the answers of the grandparent and teacher of the client during the interview. The child is fond of adults. It is because the client can express more his self when he is with them. The client also feels that his playmates cannot understand his feelings and ideas.

SECTION L. IMPLICATION TO EDUCATION AND ASSESSMENT
Teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual and social development of children during their formative years. The education that students acquire is key to determining the future of those students. Whether in elementary or high schools or in private or public schools, teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop into responsible adults.
Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using classroom presentations or individual instruction to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, and English. They plan, evaluate, and assign lessons; prepare, administer, and grade tests; listen to oral presentations; and maintain classroom discipline. Teachers observe and evaluate a student's performance and potential. They are increasingly asked to use new assessment methods. For example, teachers may examine a portfolio of a student's artwork or writing in order to judge the student's overall progress. They then can provide additional assistance in areas in which the student needs help. Teachers also grade papers, prepare report cards, and meet with parents and school staff to discuss a student's academic progress or personal problems.
Though parents have lots of expectations, teachers must not take all the responsibility too seriously. The teacher must enjoy the company of her pupils and cope up to them so that it will be easier for her to identify their needs according to their weaknesses and strength.
Teachers must also have the sense of creativity. Children are all fond of colorful and creative things, if the teacher have lots of creative ideas, she can have all the attention of her pupils.
In doing activities, the teacher should always use different strategies of encouraging each and every students to participate in class activities. The Teacher must have a good communication skill to push the students to become active in participating.
All educators have their own strategy in giving a good educational environment to their pupils. But the most important thing that is not being ignored are the skills and learnings that their pupils need. Knowing them is the best thing to do. Then the strategies and techniques in teaching follows through the process. The teacher must give her full effort and attention to achieve these things. The teacher must be brave enough to try new things to know which is more appropriate and effective to her teaching.
It might be difficult responsibility for teachers, but if they will see the positive effects in their pupils, it will lead them to the feeling of satisfaction and success in terms of their profession.
